Jane Anson: 96 Punkte

Layers of luscious dark fruits, vivid and carefully drawn, bright and finessed, great balance. Dense griotte cherries, raspberry, sage, violet, shot through with real freshness, crushed mint leaf and pomegranate. 60% new oak. Organic conversion began officially in 2021 but the farming was entirely organic even at this point. An early harvest that underlined the new era, where ripening happens earlier pretty much every year, something that is particularly felt in early-ripening areas like Pomerol and underlines the importance of its clay soils keeping freshness. Technical director Mathieu Bonté. (06/2024)

The 2020 Clos du Clocher was picked early to harness the power, freshness and violet scents. That certainly comes through on the nose, one of Bourotte's more fragrant and floral incense infusing the opulent black fruit, though it retains admirable delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with plush tannins, a dash of white pepper on the entry, finely balanced though with good backbone and grip towards the finish. This has developed well in barrel and contains a persistent peppery aftertaste.

Aromas of ripe blackberries and spiced plums with licorice, dark chocolate, walnut and dried leaves. Medium- to full-bodied with layers of firm, finely grained tannins and a velvety texture. Toned and structured with a juicy, dark-fruited palate and polished finish with hints of crushed stones. 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc. Try after 2026. (12/2022)

The deep ruby/plum-hued 2020 Clos Du Clocher is another elegant, nicely concentrated wine in the vintage. Assorted red and black fruits, sappy flowers, spice, and loamy earth all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a mouth-filling savory edge. It's not the most elegant Pomerol out there, but it nevertheless brings lots of character. I suspect it's going to gain elegance over the coming 3-5 years and should keep nicely through at least 2035, if not longer. (03/2023)

Made from 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Clos du Clocher is deep garnet-purple in color. After a little swirling, notes of redcurrant jelly, fresh blueberries, and plum preserves jump from the glass, followed by hints of iron ore, lilacs, and chocolate box. The medium to full-bodied palate is elegantly crafted, with silky, fine-grained tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and shimmery. This is gorgeous! (03/2023)

Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2020 Clos du Clocher gallops out of the glass with energetic scents of crushed blueberries, boysenberries and plum preserves, plus touches of ground cloves, cedar chest and damp soil. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers beautifully pure, well-defined black fruits with a fine-grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing earthy.
